Samsung Gear 360 SM-R210 (2017 Edition) Spherical Cam 360 Degree 4K Camera (International Version)

I was really excited to get my hands on the Samsung Gear Spherical Cam 360 degree 4K Camera. Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience with it. The camera did not work for me - the battery was dead and I could not get it to turn on no matter what I tried.

The camera is good. It arrived super fast and works well.

Cumplir mis expectativas del producto que solicite en tiempo y forma, le calidad del mismo muy buena , mas bien excelente

The photos are perfect. Stitching of the 360 videos are beautiful. I will do more testing, and update this post, but I wanted to show some photos of the unboxing the international version.So posting photos isn't so easy on Amazon. I have put up a raw still photos. Amazon, of course, degrades the quality, so I'm not sure how relevant the photo is. But even in its reduced quality, one can see that the photo is not "horrible" and is quite good. The stitching is impressive. What makes the still photos even better is the ability to use HDR, so one part isn't blown out, while the other part is underexposed.The simple fact is that a 360 camera rig costs about $7,000 to $12,000. If you don't have that sort of money, this Samsung is the next best thing. Sure, there is a blur line where the two lens are stitched together. Again, if you want 7 to 12 or more lens, then be prepared to pay the professional price.The video and photos are easily uploaded to Facebook (which owns Oculus, the big name in VR) and are truly impressive. I can't give everyone my Facebook (or even web page) because Amazon doesn't allow that. But try looking up reviews of the 360 2017 to find out if the lower quality fits within your limits. Every review I have read says something to the effect of the video not being quite 4K, but hey, Samsung is the best 360 camera for the money.I'm delighted with my purchase. It gives a sense of being there that no single camera can do. It's easy to operate and has a great connection to many Samsung phones.

No! one of the lens covers has a blemish right in the center of the bubble. It is only small but on the rear camera it is there. The lens is not scratched as the fault is on the inside of the bubble. If I new how to take the cover off, I would carefully polish it to look like new.

RICOH THETAも検討しましたが　新しいタイプである事と愛称が目玉親父と可愛らしいので購入初めはiPhoneとアクセスがうまくいけず　あたふたしてましたが原因がmicroSDカードの方で専用に購入した4K用のカードが相性が悪く　スイッチを立上げるごとにエラーが出たり出なかったりの繰返しでカードを変えたら普通にエラーも出なくなりiPhoneとも相性も良くなり　大満足であっちこっち　ポケットに忍ばせて撮りまくってます。面白いですよ！　是非　オススメします。
